James Encinas’s first book, Wheeling to Healing…Broken Heart on a Bicycle: Understanding and Healing Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) built a foundation of hope for healing embedded memories of trauma from childhood. The second book, a companion, Your Own Wheeling to Healing, offers readers a way to own their process of healing, and to share it with others.
Selling Points:
- Information and exercises in each of the 26 chapters offer hope for healing in support of the thesis of Encinas’s first book, Wheeling to Healing.
- Your Own Wheeling to Healing offers permission to form healing communities and empowers lay persons to create positive change in society.
- Making the essence of ACEs science useful to individuals and informal groups is the motivation behind Encinas’s work as a change-maker and thought leader.
Audience:
All readers of Wheeling to Healing who desire a way to put into place a gentle, yet dynamic way to foster healing in people with embedded childhood memories of trauma. Adolescents to senior citizens will find the descriptions and practices accessible and practical whether they use the book as a self-help guide or a curriculum to lead a community group.
